International Myeloma Foundation: one study noted that long-term maintenance therapy demonstrates an overall survival rate of 90%.
Madrid, 2011-may the Foundation International of myeloma (IMF), the most ancient and important foundation dedicated to the improvement of life and care for myeloma patients, said on Thursday that new data show that maintenance therapy with REVLIMID (R) (the Celgene biopharmaceutical company) after the transplantation of cells (bone marrow) mother delay time to disease progression and improves survival in general. The figures for the study of the B group of cancer and leukemia (CALGB), sponsored by the Instituto Nacional of the cancer of United States, have demonstrated a survival rate of 90% in the branch of REVLIMID trial after more than two years after the transplant in comparison to the survival rate of 83% of patients who received placebo *. The study also showed that the maintenance with REVLIMID resulted in revisions to longer, delaying the progression of the disease by an average of four years. These findings were presented at the 13th annual international the Myeloma Workshop in Paris
“ This clearly validates an important treatment option for patients ”, points out Dr. Kenneth Anderson, of Cancer Institute Dana-Farber. “ The development of new dedicated drugs, such as REVLIMID, that are well tolerated, has allowed us to take account of this approach, and with these new survival data of long-term maintenance can add to our arsenal as a new standard of care ”.
Terry Barter, a patient of Dr. Anderson, was included in one of the first clinical trials of the REVLIMID, and still continues to take the drug almost ten years later: “ I ride my motorcycle, I’m going to work every day, I have energy, almost do not have side effects. It has simply been a drug for me ”.
A similar study on REVLIMID after the transplant, the French myeloma francophone Intergroup (IFM) also shows benefits in the progression of the disease-free survival, patients who live longer without it manifests in an active way. And considering the maintenance as an option with other drugs including VELCADE ® when administered in low doses, or as a subcutaneous injection rather than the traditional intravenous.
There is a problem with a small number of second cancers that develop in patients taking REVLIMID in the long term. Possible factors, including genetic profiles and previous treatments of the patients being studied.
“ There is a risk/benefit relationship in all of the powerful medications, but overall survival shows clearly that in this case, the benefits offset to spare any risk ”, says Dr. Brian G.M. Durie, Chairman of the IMF, who is co-author of a retrospective analysis of REVLIMID and second cancers was also presented at the Conference.
Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects the cells in the bone marrow and blood can cause damage to the bone. It has no cure.

Dialysis: is the medical term used to define the artificial process of filtration of waste products and the Elimination of excess fluids of the body at the time in which the kidneys cannot be it normally.
Hemodialysis: Is a type of dialysis. It was the first technique that was used in Spain and remains the most widely used. Currently 90% of kidney patients using hemodialysis. A complex in a vein puncture is performed that can leave the blood cleaned through an external circuit through a machine. Patients requiring hemodialysis often performed in a hospital or specialized Centre. Go about 3 or 4 days a week and are about 4 hours in each session.
Peritoneal dialysis: is another technique of dialysis. It is used as a natural membrane filter – peritoneum – internally lining the abdominal cavity of the patient.

Digital ultrasound is a procedure of diagnostic imaging that uses ultrasonic emission to provide images of the information can be used in part or in its entirety without the need to cite sources inside the human body. It is a completely safe technology, which does not emit radiation and provides very useful information to know the State of health of patients.
Mammography is an exploration of diagnostic breast of patients through x-ray to achieve the highest level of information about the internal structure of the mammary gland. This diagnostic technology is especially useful for detecting lesions in very small sizes, so it has become an ally of first level in tackling early mammary pathology. As it cannot be otherwise, the diagnosis early associated in almost all cases with a higher rate of healing.
The Torrejon Hospital completes the strength of his unit of diagnostic breast, encompassing all the technologies that are used for the care, diagnosis and treatment of mammary pathology.
